Peer support: Non-instructed advocacy
26 February 2026 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
This peer support session is intended for all independent advocates, managers, and anyone else involved in supporting advocacy partners – adults and children – in a non-instructed setting.
It’s a space to ask questions, receive support from peers and share your own insights and expertise. We will base the discussion on the challenges and questions attendees bring on the day. You can also suggest a topic in advance by emailing events@siaa.org.uk.
You can access notes and resources shared at previous sessions in this collaborative document, which is updated after every meeting.

Peer supports are regular sessions for SIAA members. The main goal of peer supports is to provide space for exchange of ideas and experiences among peers. The idea is that, despite differences in independent advocacy practice throughout Scotland, independent advocacy workers do face similar challenges and benefit from mutual support, encouragement, and assistance that these sessions can provide. It’s also a way for SIAA to support and encourage reflective practice, and keep in touch with what is happening in the sector, while enabling pooling of resources and expertise in a safe, confidential space.
